Abstract

The roots of the recent controversy about how mental health professionals should respond to gender non-conforming children are traced. To make historical sense, this paper distinguishes between epistemological (discursive) and ontological (non-discursive) aspects and describes their features, since 1970. This helps to clarify some of the confusions at the centre of the still heated debate about sexuality and gender identity today. In the concluding discussion, the philosophical resource of critical realism is used to interpret the historical narrative provided. It cautions against the anachronistic tendency to amalgamate the short-lived, and now defunct, experiment of aversion therapy for homosexuality with more recent defences of exploratory psychotherapy. The latter have challenged a different form of experimentation: the bio-medicalisation of gender non-conforming children.

在21世纪初,英国心理保健对成年同性恋和性别不符合儿童的反应。
最近关于心理健康专业人员应该如何应对性别不符合标准的儿童的争论的根源可以追溯到。为了使历史意义,本文区分了认识论(话语)和本体论(非话语)方面,并描述了它们的特征,自1970年以来。这有助于澄清当今关于性和性别认同的激烈争论中的一些困惑。在最后的讨论中,我们利用批判现实主义的哲学资源来解释所提供的历史叙事。它告诫人们,不要把短暂的、现在已经不复存在的同性恋厌恶疗法实验与最近为探索性心理疗法辩护的做法混为一谈,这是一种不合时宜的倾向。后者挑战了一种不同形式的实验:对性别不符合标准的儿童进行生物医学化。
